Hello, this is Sato from J-CLINIC, a physiotherapy and acupuncture clinic in Bangkok.
We’ve talked about some of the shoulder treatments we offer. In this post, let me talk about shoulder impingement syndrome and how to treat it.
Impingement syndrome is when the rotator cuff or subacromial bursa (the fluid-filled sac that protects your rotator cuff) is trapped or rubs (“impinges”) against the top outer edge of your shoulder blade (the acromion).
When you have impingement syndrome, it will be painful for you to raise your arm . You may also feel like something is caught in your shoulder.
Impingement syndrome comes from repeated irritation of the shoulder joint. It’s common among athletes who overuse their shoulders in sports like tennis and badminton (serves and smashes), swimming (crawl and butterfly), volleyball (serves and spikes), and baseball (pitching).
